Shuggie Meets Sharon

As if Sharon Jones wasn’t already at the top of my list of favorite artists, she had to go and cover the classic Shuggie Otis song, Inspiration Information for the Dark Was The Night compilation dropping February 17, 2009.

Although it mostly features mostly indie rock artists I do recognize a few other names like fellow Canadians Feist and Buck 65. Either way, the sales of the CD will benefit the Red Hot Organization – an international charity dedicated to raising money and awareness for HIV and AIDS through popular culture. You’ll probably remember them best for their stellar Red Hot & Cool albums that were popular in the 90’s or even this slept on banger. Nice use of govt names Amazon!
